NOTES CITED IN THE TEXT The following is quoted from "The Meaning of Radiation [for Those Atolls in the Northern Part of the Marshall Islands THat Were Surveyed in 1978", U. S. Department of Energy, Washingt@n, D.C., November 1982, page 39: information That Has Been Obtained from the Measurements Made in 1978 MH 233 people Ive on Rongelap island and eat loca! food anty trom Rongelap istand . Scenusts estimate thai the largest amount of radiation & person might recerve In one year trom radioactive atoms that came from the US bomb tests is 400 milliream But ususily the largest amount a person might receive would be less than this This amount of radiation decreases every yeer, however, i Gecreases very slowly. The tighest average amount of radiation people might recerve in the coming 30 years 1s 2500 millirem in any pert of the body and 3300 miliirem in just the bone marrow In the commng 30 years. scientists estimate that 10 people may ce from cancers caused by things other then radiation from the stomic bomb tests in addition to this, from 0 1 10.0 6 people may ove in the future from cancers caused by radiatron recerved in the coming 30 years from the atomic bord tests. in the coming 30 years. acrentists estimate that 60 children could be born with heaith defects caused by things other then radiation from the atom bomb tests In addition to this, 0 007 to 0 1 children may eventually be born with heatth defects caused by radiation their parents recarve in the coming 30 years from the atomic bord tests H people tive on Enesetok and not on Rongelap island. end eat iocal food onty from Enesetok. the amount of radiation they receive would be about the same. Hf people go to Naen from Rongelap island. and eat food from Neen, they might receive about five times more radiation while they ere there H people go to Namen or Melu from Rongelap isiand. and eat food trom those two islands. they could recerve about two times more radisuon while they are there
